Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead—
and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, (aiōn g165)
to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—
which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.
8 ⲏ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ. ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ. ⲛϥ̅ⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲃⲏⲧ.
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under a curse!
9 ⲑ̅ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛϣⲣⲡ̅ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓⲧϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲃⲏⲧ.
As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be under a curse!
10 ⲓ̅ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲏ̅ ⲉⲉⲓϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲁⲣⲉⲥⲕⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲉⲛⲉⲉⲓⲁⲣⲉⲥⲕⲉ ϭⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲉⲁⲛⲅ̅ⲡϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅·
Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟⲓ̈ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩϭⲱⲗⲡ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲛⲁϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲓ̈ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲉⲓⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲉⲓϣⲱϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ.
For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲣⲟⲕⲟⲡⲧⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲧⲁϭⲟⲧ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲅⲉⲛⲟⲥ. ⲉⲉⲓⲟ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲕⲱϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲇⲟⲥⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ.
I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲣϩⲛⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲡⲟⲣϫⲧ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲓⲛⲉⲉⲓⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲁϩⲙⲉⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϩⲙⲟⲧ
But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲉϭⲗⲡ̅ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲉⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁϩⲧ̅ ⲉⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ϩⲓⲥⲛⲟϥ.
to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not rush to consult with flesh and blood,
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ϣⲁⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲁⲧⲁϩⲏ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲓ̈ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲁⲃⲓⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲓ̈ⲕⲧⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲇⲁⲙⲁⲥⲕⲟⲥ·
nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϣⲟⲙⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲟⲙⲡⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲕⲏⲫⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓ̈ϭⲱ ϩⲁϩⲧⲏϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲏ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ.
Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.
But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.
Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲇⲓⲱⲕⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϥⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϥϣⲱϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲓⲧⲉ.
They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
And they glorified God because of me.
